Thanks, Steve, for your note below! We just had an interesting conversation on the APA call about possibly creating a module to control screen business--things such as stopping animation or auto-playing of video. We thought it could possibly even extend to controlling excessive blink rates. And, here's Steve giving us the news that Firefox is doing something very similar for audio as of the just released Firefox version. Our APA discussion did note that browser uptake would be critical. We also noted this has been of interest under the rubric of Personalization for some time, including the work of the now defunct Indie-UI WG. Here's a pointer to some of that conversation from APA: https://www.w3.org/2019/03/20-apa-minutes.html#item04 Best, Janina Steve Lee writes: > To nice features of relevance to this group in Firefox 66, just released, > > * Audible Autoplay Blocking - sounds do not play when a page loads > * Scroll Anchoring stops slow content causing a jump when content is being > read.
